RE: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-smime-cms-auth-enveloped-01.txt

Russ,

Two comments/questions:

Sec 2.1: Don't we need an algorithm identifier for the mac algorithm?

Sec 2.1: Since the mac description says a digest is not used should we say
in the authAttrs description that the message digest attribute must not be
included if authenticated attributes are included (9.1 requires message
digest if authenticated attributes are used)?

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the S/MIME Mail Security Working Group of the
IETF.

	Title		: The CMS AuthEnvelopedData Content Type
	Author(s)	: R. Housley
	Filename	: draft-ietf-smime-cms-auth-enveloped-01.txt
	Pages		: 10
	Date		: 2007-1-30

This document describes an additional content type for the
   Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS).  The authenticated-enveloped-data
   content type is intended for use with authenticated encryption modes.
   All of the various key management techniques that are supported in
   the CMS enveloped-data content type are also supported by the CMS
   authenticated-enveloped-data content type.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-smime-cms-auth-enveloped-01.txt".

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
